What it is
A unique coastal ceviche from the Manabí region, featuring diced white fish cured in fresh lime juice, blended with a creamy, unsweetened peanut sauce, finely sliced red onions, cilantro, and a touch of chili. Served without traditional high-carb accompaniments like plantain chips or toasted corn.
Key ingredients
White fish (e.g., mahi-mahi), fresh lime juice, red onion, cilantro, unsweetened toasted peanuts, tomato (minimal), chili (ají).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no plantain chips (chifles), toasted corn (maíz tostado), or popcorn. Ensure the peanut sauce is made without any added sugar and is strictly based on ground peanuts.
Watch out for
Peanut sauce is a significant carb risk if sweetened. Traditional accompaniments (corn, plantain chips) are high in carbs. Small amounts of tomato can contribute.
